Streamline your inventory management effortlessly with the Sortly app's "quick scanner" tool. No more tedious manual tracking—simply utilize QR codes or barcodes assigned to your items. Just select a folder and scan items to instantly "check out" or "move" them. You can also move items manually on the web version, if desired.
To use this feature, ensure your items are connected to existing barcodes or QR codes or generate custom labels using Sortly.
